Abstract

Non-Commissioned Officers (NCOs) of all ranks made the Army successful. From the expedition of Lewis and Clark, the Civil War, World Wars, Vietnam, and the Middle East conflicts, they made their mark in military history with a can do attitude and training their Soldiers to take the lead. NCOs of such caliber and selfless service are commended and recognized for their deeds. However, behind the scenes in Army history, theres one Senior NCO that is the cornerstone of the NCO Corps. This is the Sergeant Major of the Army (SMA). Hes historically the one who directly represents the enlisted ranks to the Army Chief of Staff and who improves Soldier quality of life and readiness.
